Son Heung-min goal drought for Tottenham Hotspur ‘no concern’ for South Korea boss
- National coach Paulo Bento has no plans to talk to his captain about a lack of goals so far in the Premier League campaign
- ‘All the confidence is in him as usual,’ Bento says before South Korea’s pre-World Cup friendlies against fellow tournament qualifiers Costa Rica and Cameroon
South Korea coach Paulo Bento has no plans to talk with Son Heung-min about his lack of goals in the Premier League this season and will instead focus on preparations for upcoming friendlies against Costa Rica and Cameroon.
Tottenham Hotspur forward Son finished as the Premier League’s joint-top scorer alongside Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah last season, but has yet to find the net in the current campaign.
“I feel the same and I think the same as when he’s scoring a lot. There’s no concern, I will not talk with him about this,” said Portugal native Bento.
“Maybe he will come next Monday in a good way, so I will not spend any time to talk about these kind of things with him.
“[We will be] focusing on what we must do in these two games and all the confidence is in him as usual. For me it’s not a problem and it’s not a concern as well.”
